http://mmajunkie.comOMAHA, Neb. – “The Ultimate Fighter 12″ winner Jonathan Brookins may not have the grappling credentials of Vagner Rocha, but he sure made up for it in the striking department.

When the submission specialist Rocha dove for a leglock shortly into the opening frame of their preliminary-card bout, Brookins retaliated with a flurry of punches that ended the fight 92 seconds after it began.

Brookins vs. Rocha served as the final preliminary-card bout on UFC on FUEL TV 1 at Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Neb., prior to the night’s main card on FUEL TV.

Rocha led with strong punches and kicks as the bout got underway and was able to keep an advancing Brookins at distance. Brookins initially looked to counterstrike but eventually initiated a clinch. He was unsuccessful, but when Rocha caught a kick attempt, he managed to take top position as the two spilled to the canvas.

When Rocha went from a clinch to a heel-hook attempt, he left his head exposed, which allowed Brookins to open up for the KO victory. The official time came at the 1:32 mark of the first round.

“That’s just the way it goes sometimes, man,” an ecstatic Brookins said afterward. “It could have been either one of us. So hat’s off to Wagner.”
